Photos of the man on the Internet were interpreted as a proof of his guilt. The photos show Syarhei Malashenak and activist Yauhen Parchynski standing at the entrance to the Navapolatsk city court and holding portraits of Ales Byalyatski. Syarhei Malashenak also has a picture of him taken near the local police station.

Yauhen Parchynski was fined 5 penalty units on January 24. Syarhei Malashenak received a bigger fine, because it is his second trial for unsanctioned pickets: he was fined 300,000 rubles (3 penalty units) on October 8, 2012, for an attempt to hang our a banner “Freedom for political prisoners”.
